Still life 2 is an oil by Pieter Claesz, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This still life painting features a table with a white cloth, set against a dark background. On the table, there is a large fish, a bowl of fruit, and various other objects such as a glass, a plate, and a knife. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of simplicity and elegance. The painting's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to its visual appeal. The artist's attention to detail and ability to capture the textures and colors of the objects on the table are also noteworthy.

Pieter Claesz was born in 1596 or 1597 in Berchem, near Antwerp, and moved to Haarlem in the Dutch Republic around 1620.
